Measurement of strips of fabric to save?

I would be afraid of anything smaller than 1/4" unless it is for a wall hanging that will never be washed. OR if I was going to do very heavy quilting in the seam lines :D:D:D
Those narrow strips are cute ribbons for wrapping gifts(sew them together to make them longer if necessary), let kids use them in crafts, or stuff pet beds with them :D:D:D

It takes alot for me to throw any of them away because I also do embroidery and some of those pieces are really small. I do have two containers on my cutting table though; one for larger scraps and then one for smaller stuff; if the second one gets to large I'll consider dumping it but then it's usually into a larger bin and then when I make something to stuff like the bean bag chairs my grandson wants for Christmas I'll have some of the stuffing for it.

I save down to 1 inch strips, and 1-1/4" square, the rest I toss. I love the idea of a free top. I like Bonnie Hunters method of organizing and cutting scraps. I am working on her Roll Roll Cotton Ball Mystery quilt from quiltville.com.
